Second Essay. Blog #1.

My first day of observation took place on Friday, September 19th. I decided to observe the New York Jets fan group at groups.google.com. This social media is classified as Usenet. It is a group devoted to discussing Jet’s players, coaches, draft pick opinions, strategies and game analysis. Many of today’s posts are reflecting back at last weekend’s disheartening loss to the New England Patriots. The Jets were the favorite over the Patriots for the first time in a long time because of the injury to their star quarterback Tom Brady. But, nevertheless still managed to lose, mainly because of bad play calling by the head coach and offensive coordinator. Most of the posts from today were about this topic. The main participant in this topic so far has been “Dan Leberfeld” and seems to me that he has a pretty solid background on the information and opinion that he is giving to the site.
